Igby is a teenager and is emotionally abused by his mother who treats him coldly and contemptuously. He also gets badly beaten up in a couple of scenes (by people outside his family). We can assume the abuse has been ongoing since childhood but there are no explicit scenes of younger children being abused.

A character is shown to be a user of intravenous drugs via tracks on her arms, and later she is found unconscious after overdosing (but she is brought to hospital and survives). Also, multiple characters abuse prescription pills, and Igby and some friends smoke weed in one scene.

It's not portrayed as assault as Igby seems to enjoy it, but there is a potentially triggering scene where a 20-something woman has sex with Igby (who is 16 or 17) without getting consent; she holds him down and tells him "shut up".

Yeah a lot of it and it's seen as normal because he's a boy (17 I believe?) with adult women

Since he's a minor he can't consent, so it's considered to be rape yes

Someone dies by assisted suicide, taking an overdose of prescription medication. They fall unconscious, with laboured breathing, and in the end a plastic bag is placed over their head to suffocate them.

I don't think the needles are shown but we see a close up on needle marks on a drug user's arms.
